  • a floating submarine.
  • water.
  • none of the above

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
An egg rests at the bottom of a bowl filled with water. When salt is slowly added to the water the egg rises and floats, from which we conclude
Respuesta
  • salt water is denser than an egg.
  • salt water is denser than fresh water.
  • both of these
  • neither of these

Pregunta 21
